Verdict

A steadily improving sort over hurdles, IMPERIAL SAINT has the hallmarks of one who will make up in to an even better chaser this season (former point winner) so could be worth siding with on seasonal bow before market clues. Goodwin looked a likeable straightforward type himself over hurdles and is another to note on return. Fit and in-form pair Moveit Like Minnie and Parisencore are others to consider.

  1. IMPERIAL SAINT (FR)
  2. GOODWIN (IRE)
  3. MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE (IRE)
